On Tuesday, Oct. is, a superb equestrian
statue of Gen. George Gordon Meade was un-

weather was delightful. There was little
squirt of rain in the morning which was Just

GRAY,s WITHDRAWALS

The withdrawal Of Governor GRAY frol the
senatorial race is the act of a shrewd
politician. It was intended to strengthen
himself with his party, aud at the same time
embarrass and discomit his enemies, chief
among whom are Mcdonald and Voorhees,
These two planned the appointment of Man
son. as collector of internal revenue, thus va
eating the Office of Lieutenant governor,
mainly for the purpose of shelving Gray, and
that has been ruling motive with them ever
since. The Governor is very adroit pol
ltlclar, and possesses patience and self con
troll in high degree. Having endured the
attacks of Mcdonald and Voorhees,, secret

standpoint seemed no longer virtue he con-
cluded to administer a right and left handler.
lie has done the Samson act, pulling down
the pillars Of the Democratic temple, and
bringing death and confusion among his
enemies. But. unlike Samson, Governor
Gray did not propose to die with the
Philistines The manner of his withdrawal
is calculated to strengthen him with his
party, for he puts it solely on the ground of
party fealty, while his declaration that there

notice to Mcdonald and Voorhees, that he is

enemy of Governor Gray rather than friend,
and they will find him a troublesome
enemy-vindictive cunning, adroit, fertile
in resources, and apt to turn up in unexpected
places. The time and manner of his with

party as a self-sacrifcing statesman who

MR.. HOLMAN'S CANDIDACY.

Considering certain features of Mr. Hol-
mans canvass and denomination Of last sum-
mer, the present opposition to his senatorial
candidacy on the ground that he is a sup
porter of the Presidents civil-service policy
has decided richness Of flavor. There is
some disagreement as to just what Mr.. Cleve-
lands policy is. but this much is certain, he
objects to pernicious activity and offensive
partisanship on the part Of government en-
ployes. He has said he won't have it and
stamped his foot while saying So Now. how
ever ardent Mr. Holman may be in upholding
the civil service law, he evidently forgot TO
urge compliance with the section referred to
when he circulated about his district and in
vited revenue officials postmasters and other

Presidents alleged policy disregarded or over
locked that the federal officials of the district.
and some who belonged outside of it.
fairly captured the convention and
were in a state of activity that light we'll
be called dizzy until the DIRECTORS fate
was settled. Not word was whispered at
that time in regard to Mr. Holman's civil
service sentiments, and in fact, the rublic
was SO completely in the dark concerning
them, that the reform association of the State
made formal complaint to the President of
the manner in which his rules and orders had
been trampled upon by the statesmen assem-
bled at Greensburg. That the members of
the association must have misinterpreted the
actions of the nominee Of that convention
and those of his assistants, and that the
methods employed must have been explained
in manner satisfactory to Mr. Cleveland, is
gentleman deigned no reply to the protests of
the association. If Mr.. Holman is a reformer
now he must have been one last June: but
owing, perhaps to an unfamiliarity with the
role he was not suspected. Even now the
public would remain in ignorance of
his conversion had not Democrats who
are Tree AroiH al Suspicion OF such
tendencies basely betrayed him. Had these
unkind persons remained quiet he would
doubtless have concealed his love for the
anti-Democratic doctrines until such time as
he could pose as high moral apostle without
making himself laughing-stock Since.
however, the gentleman from Lawrencebure

a supporter of reform, it may be as we'll to.
remind him that, In all consistency, he ougns
on this occasion to check the enthusiastic
partisanship of revenue collectors and other
official friends who are showing an intention
to repeat the Greensburg tactics. It would
be too bad if these persons were complained
of again by reason Of his absent -mindeduess.

A CONTINUING SUGGESTION,

Mr.. Bynum and some other great LAWYERS
and statesmen attempt to avoid the force of
the Journals suggestions to the Democratic
revolutionists by saying that Green Smith was
legally elected President pro tenn of the SEN
ate, and that, therefore, his signature to bills
and warrants will be legal. Mr.. Bynum should
con6ne himself to smaller matters; this is evil

to-day, after the opening and publishing of the
returns of the vote and the taking of the oath

Lieutenantgo governor of the State of Indiana
That will be fact, and the mob of reyolu-
tionists can gnaw on that file to their hearts
content. If anybody wants to 60 to the courts
TO dispute Colonel Robertson's title, they can
do so; he will not be fool enough to cast dis

THE SPEAKER WILL DO HIS DUTY.

In furtherance of the plot to Mexicanize
the State by overthrowing the Constitution
and laws, the revolutionists in the Senate on
Friday passed resolution declining to be
present at or witness any count of any pre-
tended vote for Lieutenant governor Of Indi-
ana, and then adjourned till Tuesday morn
ing at 10 o'clock. The object of this action
was to prevent the constitutional installation
of the Lieutenant governor-elect The Con-
stitution Cart. 5, Sec. A. says: 1.-THE re-
turns of every election for Lieutenant
governor shall be sealed up and transmitted
to the seat of government, directed to the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, who
shall open and publish them in the presence
of both houses of the General Assembly"
Sec 552l, r. S., provides that the Lieutenant
governor shall take the oath of Office sin
presence of both houses of the General AS
sembly." 1t is made the duty Of the Speaker
to open and publish the returns in the pres
ence of both houses, and then the Lieutenant
governor takes the oath. In the hope Of pre-
venting compliance with these provisions, the
revolutionists in the Senate may refuse
to be present in the House to-day
They cannot nullfy the Constitution

ton; now they propose to violate that oath
in order to keep the Speaker from complying
with his, and the Lieutenant govern or elect
from assuming his office The revoutionists
are fools to think they can nullify the Consti-
tuition in that way. Because the revolution
lists refuse to perform the duty required Of
them by the Constitution is no reason WHY
the Speaker should. The law presumes that
Senators will attend in the House to-day, as
must so presume, also. If they are not there,
he Will not be responsible for their absence,
and will have official knowledge of it.
Senators who respect their oaths will be
present. The Speaker will open and publish
the vote, Colonel Robertson will take the oath
of Office, and from that moment he will be the
Lieutenant-governor. The revolutionists can
| not prevent the regular sequence of these con-
sritutional steps by running away from their
duty. The Constitution is not so easily null
lifted. It's provisions will be regularly com
piled with to-day, whether the revolutionists
attend or not.
